quite sweet that they chose the same date as carl gustav and silvia's. i'm glad they are already organizing it, it's going to be such an event! i really can't wait. it's a shame it's still one year to go!

Good news for Victoria, Daniel and Swedish Royal Family, but I was surprised I was waiting for the date in 2009.

What I was wondering why in 2009 to avoid

Because there isn't enough time to plan the wedding for this year. I mean, she wants to get married in early June, and it's almost April. That's not even close to being enough time.

I suposse that everything the palace is capable of, if Victoria wanted to be married in June 09 she could. I have a hard time believing that "they" could not pull off such an extragavent and over the top wedding in such a few short weeks if that is what Victoria wanted.

Agreed...in 1976 they could do it as well (and it also was a big "media wedding") and in 1999 Philippe and Mathilde could also marry after 3 months engagement time.
And Royal funerals can be arranged within days.
Besides they also could have married a little later...e.g. in late August and would have also had nice summer weather (or at least a good chance for it )

Personally I think Daniel wants a sloooow goodbye from his old life. Aftonbladet was reporting today, that Daniel wouldn´t follow (more) duties until the wedding. I´ve no idea, how this is meant, but it does sound a bit weird and I am hoping, that this long engagement time wouldn´t "backfire" (PR-wise...I mean)

Their wedding date could clash with the Swedish national team playing at the FIFA World Cup. Aftonbladet made a poll and 70% said, that they would choose soccer, if they would have to choose. Victoria & Daniel better hope Sweden wouldn´t qualify at all

My first thought about the wedding being held in 2010 and not 2009 was that they were waiting a little bit in the hopes that the economic situation will have improved by then. Some people might take offense to a big wedding being thrown in the particular economic climate in which the world is right now. Not everyone but some people.
